And is that a ...You look SO CUTE in that swimsuit! And is that a Phoenix I see on your tum??<BR/><BR/>I totally agree re. the 'chosen' thing. Wow. So where does that put adoptive parents, either, because pretty much THEY WERE DOING THE CHOOSING there? I would be much more behind a "How lucky we are to have been blessed with kids" NO MATTER the method.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me a little of something Mom observed about handicapped folks, and how those who had recovered from a handicap or an illness that seemed like it was going to be terminal, or whatever, are labeled "heroes" for "triumphing over" their disease/handicap. So does that mean that those who didn't recover, are less than heroic? Those who spend their life in a wheelchair adjusting to circumstances every damned day are less heroic than the dude who happened to be able to get full use of his legs again?<BR/><BR/>Okay I'm getting mad now. :) better stop!<BR/><BR/>Today's word: "tryspars."
